RE: Liquid Staking Comes to VSC. Let's Understand Some Things Before That Happens.

Having sHive much more valuable than Hive wouldn't be a great potential side effect. Unless it brings in more desire for HIVE too, so it actually pulls HIVE up too while it goes up in value. That might happen, since HP is needed to get more sHive (other than buying from existing holders).

If you sell, does it transfer the vote follow?

Hmm, that opens the door to some abuses. On the other side, if you don't transfer the curation APR when selling, what incentive does the buyer have to buy?

A tricky one, indeed.

On the other hand I absolutely hate the HP 3 month powerdown time so getting Hive liquid this way would definitely be refreshing.

Yes, enough times the 3-months powerdown can be a deterrent to find new investors, or to keep existing ones long term. We are talking about a space that is mainly moving away from unstaking delays, or making them minimum. We have our limitations, but an sHive would solve the liquidity thing in a major way, if we can figure out the other aspects in a reasonable way.

I also agree that VSC should be well-established and the pools well-funded before thinking to add sHive.
